Yes, irq5, dma1 and dma5 are reserved for isa in the bios. Yes, its PNP But, it still dosen't work. I have Win95 installed as well, and it seems to work just fine under it. Oh, and all the right devices seem to be in /dev - e.g, audio, snd0, etc..... *sigh* Marcus. -- =-----= Marcus Gallagher->marcusg@elec.uq.edu.au http://www.elec.uq.edu.au/~marcusg/ Electrical & Computer Engineering, University of Queensland Brisbane.
